Protists is a general term in biology that refers to eukaryotes that are not fungi, plants, or animals. Brown algae (stramenopila: click on the group in which all the organisms move and feed using cilia. Euglenids (euglenozoa: stramenopiles include water molds, golden algae, brown algae, and diatoms, cellular slime molds are amoebozoans, paramecium is unicellular. Metazoans are multicellular: diatoms bear flagella, paramecia bear cilia, brown algae are the largest of seaweeds, chlorophytes are green aglae. Cellular slime molds, such as dictyostelium, have a two stage life cycle that involves sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Plasmodium is a parasitic apicomplexan that causes malaria in humans. The life cycle of laminaria, a brown alga, involves alternation of generations. In laminaria, the sporophyte is a large seaweed with several leaflike blades. The body of a multicellular fungus consists of a network of hyphae, which form an interwoven mass called a mycelium.
